Executive Summary
Urban poverty is one of the major challenges in development across many countries, including Indonesia. This phenomenon not only affects individuals' economic conditions but also influences various social, health, and educational aspects of urban communities.
This study examines urban poverty through a case study of urban public transportation drivers (angkot drivers). The relevance of angkot drivers stems from the critical role of public transportation in urban mobility, while the drivers themselves often fall within economically vulnerable groups prone to poverty. A case study on angkot drivers provides in-depth insights into the dynamics of urban poverty and serves as a foundation for developing more targeted policies and intervention programs.
Through comprehensive analysis and in-depth examination, the findings of this study indicate that urban poverty is driven by several key factors, including low education levels, inadequate wages for both formal and informal workers, high workloads, heavy financial dependents, limited access to financial services, and difficulties in meeting basic needs.
